00:02:45.380 Leftists are winning and probably rigging elections around the world as we are just
00:02:49.620 eight days out from the American midterm elections. Then a new study reveals the shocking secret to a
00:02:56.260 great sex life. And speaking of sex, a female journalist is thrown out of a soccer game for 0.71
00:03:02.040 wearing a t-shirt opposing transgenderism, yet more evidence that soccer is gay. I'm Michael 0.97
00:03:09.140 Knowles. This is The Michael Knowles Show.
00:03:19.620 Welcome back to the show. Abdul is squirming. All eyes on Abdul, the hottest Senate race
00:03:34.140 in the country. Will the jihadi, according to President Trump, jihadi candidate be elected 0.90
00:03:41.580 to the Senate in Michigan? He does not want to answer questions, Abdul, about his previous
00:03:47.140 statements. First, though, we turn very briefly to Brazil, because the socialist leader of Brazil
00:03:54.060 has won a very tight election against the son of the ousted conservative leader of Brazil,
00:04:00.740 who was then imprisoned, Jair Bolsonaro. The son is Senator Bolsonaro. The race was very,
00:04:08.860 very tight. They've now counted 99.76% of the votes, and it looks like the Socialist won.
00:04:18.940 But there was a big irregularity, namely that in the precincts that favored the Socialist,
00:04:25.900 one Supreme Court justice allowed the polls to stay open an extra two hours.
00:04:30.560 So this is classic Latin American banana republic kind of stuff. The reason that I 1.00
00:04:37.480 care about it is because our country increasingly conducts elections in the same way. But the story
00:04:42.680 is this 80-year-old socialist, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, they call him Lula. He was just elected
00:04:50.240 to his fourth term as president of Brazil over Flavio Bolsonaro. The margin was about 5 million
00:04:58.300 votes. But the irregularity came when it was looking a little rough for Mr. Lula. So the
00:05:04.580 single Supreme Court judge said that the polls could stay open for an extra two hours, but only
00:05:09.220 in the Lula stronghold. So other precincts had already closed the polls in accordance with the
00:05:14.600 law at 5 p.m. But the Lula people said, no, we don't have enough votes yet. So you know what?
00:05:20.140 We're going to say that there's a problem with the buses. Yeah, yeah, the buses aren't getting
00:05:24.260 there in time. So we need the polls in the socialist quadrants to stay open for another
00:05:29.920 two hours. A single Supreme Court justice said that was okay. Now the socialist wins.
00:05:36.500 Socialists steal elections in Latin America all the time. It sure looks like this one is extremely
00:05:41.820 fishy. Very unfortunate because it would have been helpful to have a conservative win in Brazil.
00:05:48.060 And it would be especially a good sign since you previously had a great conservative leader in
00:05:52.860 Brazil, Bolsonaro, then he gets ousted and imprisoned by Lula. And if you had Lula ousted
00:05:59.840 by the son of the conservative guy. That would be a good sign, especially I don't care that much
00:06:04.620 about Brazil other than in as much as it affects American interests. But we are looking at our own
00:06:10.820 elections. On top of that, one of the big geopolitical issues of the midterms is Israel,
00:06:16.300 maybe the big geopolitical issue, especially as it pertains to the Iran war. Israel's got
00:06:21.240 its first election since October 7th, 2023, since the big attack. That's coming up tomorrow.
00:06:27.600 And right now, Netanyahu is not looking so hot.
00:06:30.320 So there's a chance that you could oust the conservative leader in Israel.
00:06:35.800 And I know that Netanyahu is really unpopular now, but I'm quite confident you will not
00:06:42.160 like the liberal leader of Israel any more than you like Netanyahu or potentially a different
00:06:47.500 conservative leader of Israel because of the way that the coalitions work.
00:06:51.120 And in any case, the main thing I care about is the American midterm elections coming up
00:06:55.840 next week.
00:06:56.980 which is looking rough, man. I mean, the generic ballot for the Democrats right now is up
00:07:02.860 seven or eight points. These swing races, the Democrats are leading in basically all of them,
00:07:09.060 although they're within the margin of error. And unfortunately, the margin of error in these polls
00:07:12.420 is five points or more in some cases. So we have no idea what's going to happen,
00:07:17.060 but the global trends are moving toward leftism. MSNBC, now MSNOW, is doing its very best
00:07:26.580 to paint conservatives as a bunch of dumb, bigoted idiots. The all eyes are on the Michigan race, 1.00
00:07:34.800 probably more so than Tallarico down in Texas, more so than Susan Collins up in Maine.
00:07:40.580 The Michigan race is really key. Abdul Mohamed El-Sayed is running against Mike Rogers.
00:07:46.780 And MS Now is trying to make the argument that if you oppose Abdul, it's because you're an 0.95
00:07:52.680 Islamophobic, racist. 0.93
00:07:56.800 Abdul outside, Mike Rogers. 0.97
00:07:58.440 You going for Mike Rogers? 0.60
00:07:59.420 Yeah.
00:08:00.040 What?
00:08:01.880 I don't trust Abdul. 0.98
00:08:04.620 He's going to be a terrorist.
00:08:08.080 So, nope, no thanks. 0.83
00:08:09.780 They plant terrorists all the time.
00:08:12.420 Who knows how he was raised?
00:08:14.320 Even though he was raised here,
00:08:15.940 he could be Allah Allah 0.97
00:08:17.400 and blow up everybody when he gets in the Senate. 0.92
00:08:21.040 Who knows?
00:08:22.680 Who knows? MSNOW, look at these big dumb idiots, these bigots. They don't know anything. They 1.00
00:08:28.460 think Abdul's a terrorist. They don't know anything about the real issues in the debate.
00:08:32.700 Okay, I just want to remind you, as MSNBC is trying to portray those two
00:08:39.240 patriotic Americans as terrorists, just this past March, there was a Muslim terror attack
00:08:47.220 in Michigan, in the state that Abdul al-Sayed is running to represent in the U.S. Senate.
00:08:52.680 It was a terror attack on a synagogue in Michigan.
00:08:55.940 Abdul was asked his opinion about the terror attack.
00:08:59.700 Did he say, well, Islamic terror is not acceptable, and we must condemn this, and this is contrary to American values?
00:09:07.580 You know what he said?
00:09:08.440 He said, hurt people hurt people.
00:09:12.440 It's like the worst overlapping Venn diagram of radical jihadism and therapeutic liberalism.
00:09:20.940 Hurt people hurt people. 0.52
00:09:22.680 In other words, what he said was the Muslim terror attack was justified or at the very least
00:09:29.320 understandable, explainable, and the terrorists are the real victims here because hurt people
00:09:36.320 hurt people. That's example number one. Here's example number two. Back in 2012, during the
00:09:43.560 Arab Spring, Abdul El-Sayed signed a public letter supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt,
00:09:49.640 specifically the Muslim Brotherhood's agenda to purge the media and the police.
00:09:56.140 Abdul al-Sayed explicitly signed on to the Muslim Brotherhood program in Egypt.
00:10:02.440 How about example number three?
00:10:04.980 Abdul al-Sayed invited Hassan Piker to campaign with him.
00:10:09.640 Hassan Piker, who says that America deserved 9-11.
00:10:13.420 America deserved the worst Muslim terror attack, certainly in American history, maybe in world history. 1.00
00:10:19.640 and MS now both clutches its pearls and guffaws at these supposedly stupid Americans who say they 1.00
00:10:28.360 don't want to vote for Abdul because he's a terrorist. Guess what? Those voters, those 1.00
00:10:34.160 voters out there that are being portrayed as big dummies, they have Abdul's number.
00:10:39.740 They have a firmer grasp on the actual identity of Abdul El-Sayed, on the actual stakes of the
00:10:46.920 election. A much firmer grasp than MS Now or any of the American left and even the moderate
00:10:53.660 Republicans. This is the IQ bell curve meme, except forget about IQ here. This is like the
00:11:00.520 voter information bell curve meme. The really low information voters who can't recite the
00:11:08.760 campaign platform of Abdul El-Sayed, who don't know the intricacies of healthcare policy or
00:11:13.860 whatever. The low information voters say, yeah, I'm not going to vote for Abdul because he seems
00:11:18.700 to really like Islamic terrorism. Then the midwit voters say, oh, he's not actually an Islamic 0.83
00:11:23.720 terrorist and his family's connections to the Muslim brotherhood are completely irrelevant. 0.92
00:11:27.440 And actually, he just wants to give people health care, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:11:29.980 And then the Jedi, the really high information follows the facts of the election very closely
00:11:35.180 guy. He says, yeah, Abdul's kind of a terrorist, so I'm not going to vote for him.
00:11:39.220 has happened so frequently. But those people whom MS now are mocking on air,
00:11:48.100 those people have a much firmer grasp of who Abdul al-Sayed is. He is clearly a terrorist 0.88
00:11:53.200 sympathizer. You can just recite his own words back to him, including regarding terror attacks 0.97
00:11:58.260 that happened this year. And the polls are really tight and Abdul is actually leading. So
00:12:03.180 in the final days of the campaign, Abdul is doing everything he can to run away from his
00:12:08.240 own words. Brett Baer had a great interview on the street with Abdul El-Sayed. And they didn't
00:12:15.720 just talk about Islam or foreign policy. Here is Brett Baer asking Abdul El-Sayed about his own
00:12:23.940 comments on socialist health care. Medicare for all. And asked about the quality of care and
00:12:30.620 wait times. You were asked about that. If a family needs MRIs under a government-run plan,
00:12:36.680 And you responded, well, sucks for them. 0.97
00:12:39.220 No, I did not respond. 0.99
00:12:40.120 Well, that's the quote.
00:12:41.400 People will tell me, well, Abdul, you know, at the end of the day,
00:12:43.720 I have a friend whose cousin who used to own a goldfish, their former owner.
00:12:49.440 That person had to wait in a long line for an MRI.
00:12:52.700 And I say, well, that sucks for them.
00:12:55.380 But also, that person has never had to worry about medical debt.
00:12:58.640 I responded specifically, and when I was on your channel the last time,
00:13:02.180 we were talking about wait times, right?
00:13:03.660 And your colleague asked me about the wait times.
00:13:05.340 Do you know what the average wait time for cardiologists is in America right now?
00:13:09.800 It's about two and a half months.
00:13:11.060 So we're talking about wait times.
00:13:12.300 I think it's crazy that you have to wait two and a half months in a private health care system right now.
00:13:15.300 You know the quote that you said in the interview about waiting for MRIs.
00:13:18.280 You're going to selectively pick a quote out of context.
00:13:21.060 But let me just answer your question.
00:13:22.600 The question is about wait times, right?
00:13:24.980 Wait times for a cardiologist in our current system is two and a half months.
00:13:28.080 I think we can get that down.
00:13:29.100 I'll also tell you this.
00:13:30.100 Take back that sentence about waiting for MRIs?
00:13:32.160 Of course. 0.54
00:13:32.700 One never wants it to suck for anybody.
00:13:34.200 That's entirely the point. 0.92
00:13:35.340 Okay, so he's squirming real bad here.
00:13:37.840 Brett Baer, who is a terrific journalist, pretty down the middle objective.
00:13:42.800 He says, hey, you were asked about the long wait times for people in socialist health care,
00:13:47.180 the kind of socialist health care you're calling for,
00:13:49.180 that you're running your campaign on, is probably the biggest issue.
00:13:52.380 And you said, for the people who have long wait times, it sucks for them.
00:13:56.040 Abdul says, I never said it sucks for them.
00:13:59.380 Cut to the video. 0.95
00:14:00.720 Abdul Al-Assad says, yeah, my response to people in the wait times is it sucks for them.
00:14:04.280 So he goes from, I never said it, to, well, you're taking that quote out of context.
00:14:10.380 How? What's the context? It was a simple question. What do you say for people who
00:14:16.220 have really long wait times under socialist healthcare? His answer is, it sucks for them. 0.98
00:14:22.020 What's the additional context that we need? So he gets caught in a lie. He gets caught in another 0.94
00:14:28.720 lie. And then the answer is, well, you know what? Sometimes people are waiting two and a half months
00:14:33.640 for medical care in the United States. Yeah, okay, two and a half months, that's unfortunate.
00:14:37.460 I wish it were faster than that. What's the wait time in Canada, in the UK, in European countries
00:14:43.160 that have socialist health care? The wait time can be 18 months or years or two years or three
00:14:49.140 years for medical care. And in fact, a huge percentage of the people depends on the medical
00:14:54.140 procedure needed, but a huge percentage of the people die while they're waiting. So Abdul Al-Sayed
00:14:59.740 then, he realizes that's kind of a bad argument. So he says, well, you know what? The people in
00:15:02.840 socialist countries. At least they never have medical debt. Yeah, they don't have to worry
00:15:06.480 about medical debt because they're dead because they're waiting for health care. And yeah, two
00:15:10.380 and a half months is unfortunate. It's a hell of a lot better than 18 months or 24 months or 36
00:15:14.820 months. He's got no answer whatsoever. And it's lie after lie after lie. I don't throw the L word
00:15:20.940 around too much in politics because a lie is an intentional misstatement of the truth designed to
00:15:27.140 deceive the listener. And a lot of times politicians are just kind of dummies or they're 0.98
00:15:31.640 ignorant, and so they say things that aren't true, but they don't do so intentionally. 0.99
00:15:34.920 In this case, Abdul is lying. He says, I never said that thing. Yeah, okay, I said that thing, 0.98
00:15:39.780 but it's totally out of context. Okay, actually, maybe it is in context, but I hate the American 1.00
00:15:43.680 healthcare system. So it's just lie after lie after lie, and this is a pattern for Abdul.
00:15:48.160 He is constantly deceiving people about his identity, and this really comes to a head
00:15:52.520 when it comes to his ties to terrorists. But first, speaking of religion, I want to tell you

00:16:14.440 noise, the Lord is still at work. Young people are returning to the church, rediscovering her

00:17:38.160 And as every senator who's ever served, I will swear an oath to that constitution.
00:17:43.800 I'm not interested in what you're going to pull out in a ridiculous 2012 statement, in a letter.
00:17:49.720 You don't want to walk that back.
00:17:50.300 You're going to pull that out of context.
00:17:51.720 I'm not pulling it out.
00:17:52.160 You're going to ask questions about my allegiance.
00:17:53.720 Let me just be clear.

00:17:55.380 I'm just asking you about that.
00:17:56.600 Don't be Roger's campaign.
00:17:57.740 I'm asking a question.
00:17:58.660 Be a journalist.

00:18:00.940 As a journalist, if you're asking a question about my allegiance to the constitution,
00:18:04.160 I have never been a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:18:05.700 I never will be a member of the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:18:07.080 I am interested in serving the United States.
00:18:10.260 Yeah, okay.
00:18:10.980 So basically, Abdul's answer here is,
00:18:14.300 la, la, la, la, la, I can't hear you.
00:18:16.460 La, la, la, la, la.
00:18:17.660 I love, this is like that interview
00:18:19.800 between Jordan Peterson and that lady journalist
00:18:21.860 where Jordan would say like, 0.82
00:18:23.560 I think Coca-Cola is tasty.
00:18:26.040 And the journalist said, 0.99
00:18:27.020 so basically what you're saying is you hate women.
00:18:29.480 That's not what I'm saying.
00:18:31.520 What I'm saying is I like to go to the beach
00:18:34.360 when it's sunny outside.
00:18:35.160 Yeah, so basically what you're saying 0.99
00:18:36.860 you hate black people. What? What are you talking about? Same thing here. Brett Baer sets up the 0.99
00:18:42.500 question. He says, okay, you're in this race. Your opponent has made this accusation before he can
00:18:46.920 get the words out. He says, yeah, so Brett Baer, you're accusing me of dual loyalty. I never said
00:18:51.120 that. You're accusing me of shredding the constitution. I'm not. Can you let me get the
00:18:54.060 words out? Can you let me ask the question? Why are you so afraid of answering the question?
00:18:57.920 Because Abdul El-Sayed's mom was in the Muslim Brotherhood, very active in it. Abdul El-Sayed's
00:19:04.620 sister, who's a UChicago professor, says that her family has long been affiliated with the Muslim
00:19:09.560 Brotherhood because Abdul, in 2012, wrote a letter, public letter, supporting the Muslim Brotherhood,
00:19:15.140 and because when Abdul was the vice president of his Muslim Students Association in college,
00:19:20.280 he was helping to lead an organization that was founded in collaboration with the Muslim Brotherhood.
00:19:24.620 And because even, what, four or five months ago, Abdul al-Sayed was excusing and justifying a
00:19:30.380 Muslim terrorist attack in his own state. So that's why. When Trump comes out there on the 0.75
00:19:35.900 campaign trail, and we'll get to some of the hits from the campaign trail, there have been a few
00:19:39.600 doozies in the last few days. When Trump comes out and he says, this guy's a jihadi. The really
00:19:45.820 nice country club Republicans, they want to say, well, you know, he's really sort of overstating
00:19:50.020 and this is kind of a hyperbolic language. You say, well, maybe. I think he's getting the point
00:19:55.940 across pretty clear, though. Abdul al-Sayed clearly sympathizes with terrorist organizations,
00:20:01.720 and Abdul al-Sayed has many family ties and has expressed personal sympathy for
00:20:08.020 terrorist organizations and Muslim terrorism in his own state. Why is that off limits?
00:20:14.500 Yeah, okay, you could give that answer, that really nice kind of modest, nuanced answer, 0.94
00:20:19.140 or you can go with Trump and say, yeah, the guy's basically a jihadi, and 0.99
00:20:22.220 Trump is pretty much right. Okay, speaking of religion and Trump, I have to get to a 0.98
00:20:29.300 non-traversy that just cropped up over the last few days. A bunch of Catholic bishops showed up
00:20:34.140 to the Oval Office and prayed for President Trump. And some picture and video of this was released.
00:20:41.660 Now, all the knives are out for the Catholic bishops. They're going after the bishops for
00:20:47.720 supposedly betraying their religious convictions to show up and pray for Trump in some supposedly
00:20:55.220 unprecedented kind of maneuver. Here is Christopher Hale, who's a Democrat operative
00:20:58.980 who masquerades as a Catholic writer. And he posts, new, a group of Catholic bishops prayed
00:21:05.480 over President Trump in the Oval Office on Thursday, 12 days before the midterm elections
00:21:08.660 at a meeting organized by an official at the Heritage Foundation. A senior Vatican official
00:21:13.040 called it a highly inappropriate meeting and an insult to Pope Leo XIV, unnamed Vatican official,
00:21:18.060 of course. In April, President Trump called the Pope terrible for foreign policy, and Vice
00:21:22.500 President J.D. Vance warned that Leo should be careful when he talks about theology and whatever.
00:21:26.160 So it's this, you know, this guy Christopher Hale is just a Democrat operative. I think he ran for
00:21:29.920 office as a Democrat. And of course, today, it is really not possible to be a faithful Catholic
00:21:35.640 and a Democrat. That wasn't always true for a long time. Catholics were mostly Democrats,
00:21:41.320 actually. But especially since the Democrat Party embraced legal abortion, today it supports 0.92
00:21:46.720 abortion on demand, certainly after the Democrat Party embraced redefining marriage. Now, today,
00:21:52.660 the Democrat Party almost universally endorses castrating little children to advance a radical 0.95
00:21:58.480 sexual ideology. Among other problems, you really, practically speaking, cannot be a faithful
00:22:05.540 Catholic and vote for Democrats. It's just not really possible today. This is because not all
00:22:12.560 political issues carry equal weight. I'm not saying that the Republican Party is this perfect
00:22:16.760 exemplar of Catholic social teaching. I'm just pointing out, as John Paul II, St. John Paul II
00:22:22.340 pointed out, that certain issues are more important than others. Among those non-negotiable issues
00:22:26.800 would be the right to life, because the right to life is not one right among many. It is the
00:22:31.040 fundamental right from which all of the other rights derive. So the Democratic Party, having
00:22:35.400 embraced a radically infanticidal stance, including, I don't exaggerate here when I say abortion after
00:22:42.340 birth. You had a sitting Democrat governor, Ralph Northam, calling for abortion after birth. If a
00:22:46.820 baby survives an abortion, is out here in the world breathing. And he said, well, we would have 0.66
00:22:52.720 a conversation with the doctor and the mother to decide whether or not to kill the baby.
00:22:56.520 So it is not possible.
00:22:59.740 Now, Christopher Hale and some of these other Democrat critics, they're going further.
00:23:03.380 They're saying it's not possible for a Catholic to support a Republican.
00:23:07.900 And they're saying that it's somehow inappropriate for Catholic bishops to pray for the President of the United States.
00:23:12.620 This is historically and theologically illiterate.
00:23:16.260 First of all, what do you think priests are for?
00:23:19.960 Priests are for praying for you and helping you in sanctification.
00:23:24.720 and praying to God that he will bless us.
00:23:29.300 That's one of the basic functions of a priest.
00:23:31.800 These bishops are all priests, okay?
00:23:33.720 But then even when you look historically,
00:23:37.100 bishops have been praying for presidents
00:23:39.080 since the beginning of the country.
00:23:41.260 The very first bishop of the United States, John Carroll,
00:23:45.720 prayed in 1791 for George Washington
00:23:48.820 and the American government.
00:23:51.080 Every legislative day in both houses of Congress,
00:23:54.720 opens with a prayer. But let's focus specifically on the Catholics because the Catholics are really
00:24:00.040 what's at issue here. You have had Catholics, Catholic priests and bishops praying publicly
00:24:07.380 for presidents at presidential inaugurations since 1937, I think it is, since FDR. It was a Democrat
00:24:14.060 who instituted that policy or that tradition. You had Catholic bishops praying at the inaugurations
00:24:21.880 of John F. Kennedy, LBJ, and Jimmy Carter. So this is already moving into some pretty
00:24:27.760 radical left-wing politics, certainly by the time you get to LBJ and Jimmy Carter.
00:24:32.120 But let's go even further. You had Catholic priests publicly praying for presidents at
00:24:36.800 the inaugurations of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Barack Obama and Joe Biden, who oppose fundamental
00:24:45.120 aspects of Catholic moral teaching and political teaching. Barack Obama and Joe Biden, who want to
00:24:53.400 kill babies on demand, who oppose church teaching on the question of marriage, and who support 0.99
00:24:59.480 castrating little children to appear like the opposite sex. I don't remember Christopher Hale 0.99
00:25:05.220 or any of these other Democrat operatives getting all upset that the bishops were praying for those
00:25:12.580 radically anti-Catholic presidents, including in the case of Joe Biden, who is nominally Catholic.
00:25:18.040 That's even more scandalous that he so opposed Catholic teaching. In fact, that he sent his FBI
00:25:22.800 out to persecute Catholics, to go spy on Catholic churches, to consider Catholics to be akin to 0.96
00:25:29.800 terrorists, and to imprison Catholic grannies for praying at abortion centers. I don't remember 0.98
00:25:34.520 hearing that, but now they go after Trump because Catholic bishops prayed for him in a tradition
00:25:40.380 established all the way back in the days of George Washington. Totally, totally preposterous.
00:25:45.780 And just at a basic level, I'll take the prayers. I think it is good for priests to pray for our
00:25:53.300 nation. And furthermore, I think it was Pope Francis who made this point. If you cannot love
00:26:00.180 your own country, it is rather dubious that you can love God, that you can love Jesus.
00:26:06.200 And the reason is that your country is, in a terrestrial sense, much closer to you.
00:26:13.760 You know, it's like loving your mom and your dad.
00:26:15.640 You have to honor your father and your mother as proximate people that point toward the love of God, the Father in heaven.
00:26:24.920 Totally, totally absurd, especially when you look at President Trump,
00:26:29.020 who is the president who undid so much of the anti-Catholic government that we saw over the last 10 years. 0.56
00:26:36.100 Okay, speaking of traditional sexual ethics,
00:26:38.320 a female journalist was just removed 1.00
00:26:39.700 from a women's soccer game 1.00
00:26:40.880 because she wore a shirt that said XX,
00:26:44.520 meaning XX chromosomes, 1.00
00:26:46.320 meaning that women are a thing. 0.86
00:26:49.340 That's basically what the shirt said. 0.99
00:26:50.440 The shirt said women exist. 1.00
00:26:52.820 And she was thrown out of a soccer game for that 1.00
00:26:54.680 because it was supposedly anti-LGBT.
00:26:56.720 We'll get to that in a second.
00:26:57.540 First, I want to tell you about GOP votes.
00:26:59.440 There's a lot more to say.
00:27:00.460 First, though, go to GOPvotes.org.
00:27:02.360 The Democratic Socialists of America
00:27:03.760 won primaries across the country.
00:27:05.260 Next, they're coming for Congress and they're coming for you. 0.93
00:27:08.320 If they win the midterms, they will defund the police, reopen our border, and force men into women's sports.
00:27:13.220 You are the last line to defense, and GOPvotes.org is your partner in the fight.
00:27:17.540 Go to GOPvotes.org right now.
00:27:19.900 Make a plan to vote early.
00:27:21.020 If you live in the critical Senate battleground states of Alaska, Michigan, Maine, Ohio, Iowa, or Texas, early voting is already underway this week.
00:27:28.540 Democrats are energized.
00:27:29.780 The stakes have never been higher.
00:27:31.120 We cannot afford to have people like AOC and her communist cronies running the show.
00:27:35.100 That is why I need you to make a plan to vote early right now.
00:27:38.980 Go to gopvotes.org to find your polling location.
00:27:41.660 Vote early.

00:27:48.620 We've all heard radio advertisements about owing the IRS money.

00:28:35.380 Tax relief advocates, real solutions for real people.
00:28:39.280 This female journalist, Brandi Cruz, 1.00
00:28:42.220 shows up to a soccer game. 1.00
00:28:43.760 That was her first mistake. 0.94
00:28:45.240 She shows up to the soccer game,
00:28:46.520 and she wears a shirt that says XXXY. 1.00
00:28:49.980 Women exist, men exist. 0.99
00:28:52.380 Seems like a pretty innocent basic claim, right? 1.00
00:28:56.340 Well, the people all around her waving pride flags, trans flags. 0.92
00:29:01.500 They make a big ruckus about it. 1.00
00:29:03.200 And then some security guard goes up, manhandles the female journalist,
00:29:07.080 and throws her out of the stadium.
00:29:10.900 They're trying to make us leave.
00:29:12.600 We haven't done anything wrong.
00:29:13.860 I'm not leaving.
00:29:14.740 I'm not leaving.
00:29:18.360 I'm not leaving.
00:29:20.580 I bought a ticket.
00:29:21.700 I'm not leaving.
00:29:25.880 I'm going to put my hands on you, says the security guard.
00:29:55.880 And the journalist says, are you a police officer?
00:29:58.360 You can't put your hands on me because you don't like my T-shirt.
00:30:01.680 I literally have not done anything wrong.
00:30:06.240 I am being carried out by two security guards.
00:30:08.880 Two security guards dragging her out of the stadium. 1.00
00:30:14.900 Because she wore a shirt that said women exist. 1.00
00:30:17.880 XX. 1.00
00:30:18.560 It doesn't even say that.
00:30:19.520 It's even more subtle than that.
00:30:21.640 XXXY Athletics. 0.99
00:30:23.800 Bunch of lunatics waving pride flat. 1.00
00:30:25.680 trans flags in her face. They don't get thrown out. But this woman who buys a ticket, journalist 1.00
00:30:30.380 just wearing XX, she gets manhandled by two security guards thrown out even though she 1.00
00:30:35.600 already paid the fee. So the biggest takeaway, the first takeaway here is soccer is really gay, 0.99
00:30:42.660 really, really gay. And I've said this for many years. I hate soccer. My children do not play 0.99
00:30:47.800 soccer. I was just chatting with a family member this weekend. I said, hey, you know, are your
00:30:52.300 kids, too bad we don't have a soccer ball. Are your kids going to play soccer? I said, no,
00:30:55.820 they're not going to play soccer. I can't have them play in soccer. That opens up all sorts of
00:31:00.240 problems. They're going to play baseball like Americans. And I think my family member thought 1.00
00:31:04.680 I was crazy, but I was right. And I think I was just proven right by this video. Soccer is super
00:31:11.120 gay in America. That's not true in the UK. I need a little qualifier here. In the context of a place 0.95
00:31:17.320 like the UK, soccer is not really gay. You get all these kind of macho soccer hooligans who 0.82
00:31:22.140 get super drunk and terrorize the neighborhood. And whatever you want to say about that,
00:31:26.740 it's not that gay. It's kind of masculine, actually. Soccer is not necessarily gay in 0.65
00:31:34.600 the Latin American countries and third world countries where soccer is really popular.
00:31:39.260 But in the American context, the people who insisted on bringing soccer to America,
00:31:44.780 who insisted on this contrived popular sport, it's not really popular, but it's getting more
00:31:50.060 popular, the people who insisted on bringing this foreign thing into America did so because they
00:31:54.820 don't really like America and they prefer other countries. And they wanted to bring something
00:31:59.340 foreign in, just like they want to bring lots of foreign people in and lots of foreign culture in
00:32:03.860 and lots of foreign ideas in to the country. I'm really not joking. I know it sounds kind of funny 0.89
00:32:08.520 because I say soccer is gay, but that was the thought process. America has lots of great sports.
00:32:14.580 We have baseball, we have football, we have basketball. I only like one of those sports,
00:32:19.800 but they're all kind of fun sports. They have a long history in America. The insertion,
00:32:24.800 the importation of soccer was done entirely by libs. It was done by the people who wave 0.51
00:32:31.160 the trans flag. And so the political import of this video comes down to this woman saying,
00:32:39.200 what did I do wrong? Because we know, as I've said for many years, soccer just codes lib.
00:32:46.720 Some things code lib, some things code conservative.
00:32:49.780 Zin, little nicotine pouches, that code's conservative.
00:32:53.040 When people want appetitive nicotine and they're right-wingers, they do nicotine pouches.
00:32:58.180 When people want appetitive nicotine, not like cigars, not like pipes, but the kind that satisfies appetites.
00:33:04.740 When people on the left want appetitive nicotine, they do vape.
00:33:08.080 They're both nicotine.
00:33:10.540 It's the same substance for the same effect.
00:33:13.620 Why is it that all the right-wingers do Zin and all the left-wingers do vape?
00:33:20.120 Because that's just the culture.
00:33:22.460 And if you show up with a vape to the right-wing event, it's going to seem out of place.
00:33:27.000 And if you show up with the Zin or the Alp to the left-wing event, it's going to seem out of place.
00:33:31.920 That's just how it codes.
00:33:33.480 It's like a barber jacket versus a Patagonia jacket.
00:33:36.500 They're both windbreakers.
00:33:38.260 They're both waterproof.
00:33:41.100 They serve this same purpose.
00:33:43.320 But the barber jacket codes conservative.
00:33:46.500 And the Patagonia jacket codes lib.
00:33:48.600 It just does.
00:33:50.260 So the question is, what did I do wrong?
00:33:54.880 That's what she's saying is she's being dragged out.
00:33:56.560 And the answer is, you entered into a society that hates you and your beliefs and what you stand for.
00:34:04.700 That's it.
00:34:05.300 And there's a real deep political lesson here.
00:34:08.500 The people who are joking at me and saying, oh, Michael, get off it on soccer.
00:34:11.840 You know, soccer's not intrinsically liberal.
00:34:14.540 In America, it is.
00:34:15.800 It actually is.
00:34:16.980 It was imported by liberals to make a political point.
00:34:21.060 And so it just codes lib.
00:34:23.220 99% of soccer fans are big libs in America, not elsewhere in the world.
00:34:28.060 So it just is lib.
00:34:29.140 When you go to the soccer stadium, they're going to promote the lib stuff.
00:34:32.520 They're going to wave the pride flags and the trans flags.
00:34:34.920 They're going to protest the national anthem.
00:34:37.900 It's just a liberal society.
00:34:40.240 What did I do wrong? 1.00
00:34:41.120 This woman is making the mistake a lot of conservatives make, where she thinks she's 0.99
00:34:45.620 going to persuade these people through facts and logic and argumentation.
00:34:48.660 There's obviously nothing wrong with this shirt.
00:34:50.200 It just says XX chromosomes.
00:34:51.780 That's so inoffensive. 1.00
00:34:53.160 That's a mild way, a subtle way to make my political point that women exist. 1.00
00:34:57.380 It doesn't matter. 1.00
00:34:58.280 You're not going to persuade them.
00:34:59.280 They don't care.
00:35:00.060 They don't like you.
00:35:01.500 And they are not going to tolerate you in their society.
00:35:05.040 that's the problem with allowing all the institutions of our country to turn lib the
00:35:13.220 the academy uh meaning academia or the academy meaning hollywood you know uh the mass pop culture
00:35:20.760 music industry some of the sports leagues like the nfl turned pretty lib actually uh the government
00:35:26.680 certainly the agencies of the government mass immigration that changes the demographics of
00:35:32.020 the country. The problem is the conservative can argue until he's blue in the face. But actually,
00:35:36.480 according to our constitution, it's perfectly understandable that we need to tolerate all
00:35:41.460 sorts of people. And Google might be oppressing conservatives, but if you don't, our free market
00:35:47.300 principles say you need to just build your own Google or whatever kind of cope nonsense the
00:35:52.400 conservatives say, the upshot is going to be the same. If you have a society that is filled with
00:35:59.120 people who don't like you, and don't agree with you, and don't want to live the way you want to
00:36:03.660 live, you're not going to have a very good time. You're not going to preserve your traditional
00:36:07.960 way of life. If you import a zillion Muslims into Dearborn, Michigan, you can say that Michigan is 1.00
00:36:16.040 still a city of the United States run by the Constitution, and there are rules you have to 1.00
00:36:20.460 follow, and everyone has their individual rights. But guess what? The people who run that city,
00:36:26.260 they're going to order all of the traditions and the habits and the prayer bells and all the rest 0.70
00:36:33.220 toward Islamic culture, not toward traditional American culture.
00:36:39.260 Argumentation is not enough. Politics is a lived, embodied experience. It is people living together
00:36:48.620 in a culture that is often ineffable beyond mere articulation and argumentation.
00:36:56.260 yeah, I'm probably not going to a soccer stadium anyway 1.00
00:36:59.620 because I hate the sport and it's pretty gay, 0.99
00:37:01.600 but also because they don't want me there. 0.96
00:37:03.900 That's really, soccer is not for me, okay?
00:37:06.900 And if we allow hostile forces
00:37:09.740 to totally upend the institutions of our country,
00:37:12.220 our country is not going to be for us either.
00:37:14.480 Okay, speaking of sexual complimentary,
00:37:17.020 we move from Brandi Cruz, 1.00
00:37:18.600 that journalist at the soccer game,
00:37:20.160 we move to the breakthrough groundbreaking study
00:37:23.360 that gives the secret to a great sex life.
00:37:27.380 First, though, perfectly fitting ad transition,
00:37:30.820 I want to tell you about pre-born.
00:37:32.820 There's a lot more to say first, though. 1.00
00:37:34.160 Go to preborn.com slash Knowles, K-N-A-W-L-E-S.
00:37:36.640 Have you heard of the burnt toast theory?
00:37:38.340 It is this idea that's been circulating online
00:37:40.460 that when something goes wrong,
00:37:41.920 say you burn your toast in the morning
00:37:43.200 and end up leaving the house five minutes late,
00:37:45.400 maybe that little inconvenience
00:37:46.820 actually changes the course of your day
00:37:48.660 in a way that you could not have predicted.
00:37:51.320 You always wonder that.
00:37:52.060 This happens to me when I'm,
00:37:52.840 I was actually just talking to my father-in-law about this.
00:37:55.080 You know, you get really frustrated
00:37:56.180 because you drive past the exit,
00:37:58.360 whatever, you don't get off the exit, right?
00:37:59.820 And you gotta go loop around or whatever.
00:38:01.460 And you're annoyed and maybe yelling in your car.
00:38:04.300 But what you don't know is that it's very possible
00:38:06.780 that had you taken the exit,
00:38:08.000 you would have gotten rear-ended by a semi-truck and killed.
00:38:10.900 You know, you just don't know the things
00:38:12.840 that God protects us from.
00:38:14.780 In any case, point is, sometimes a few minutes
00:38:16.320 can change the course of an entire life. 0.97
00:38:18.240 That is especially true for the mothers that pre-born serves.
00:38:20.880 A woman walks into a pre-born network clinic facing an unexpected pregnancy.
00:38:24.600 She's scared.
00:38:25.240 She's uncertain.
00:38:25.860 She may be considering abortion.
00:38:27.320 And she sees her baby on ultrasound.
00:38:28.800 She sees the movement.
00:38:29.520 She hears the heartbeat.
00:38:30.820 Suddenly, everything can change.
00:38:32.540 Right now, pre-born wants to help rescue 50,000 more babies.
00:38:36.520 You can be part of that.
00:38:37.420 Just $28 sponsors an ultrasound and can help save a baby's life.
00:38:40.880 To give, dial pound 250, say keyword baby.

00:39:44.080 best comment on Friday is from Uroge. Is that like the country or is that like an accusation?
00:39:50.160 It says, isn't Noor Saeed Elmi one of the jesters in Jabba's palace? I think so. Yes,
00:39:55.900 actually. One of the attendants to Princess Leia in the bikini, I believe. I believe that's true.
00:40:01.500 New study out from the Institute for Family Studies that shows the great secret to a great
00:40:09.460 sex life. We don't want to go blue on this show. I'll try to speak in non-lorid, non-lascivious
00:40:16.160 terms. In terms of frequency and satisfaction, you want to know the great secret to a great
00:40:24.340 sex life? Turns out it is going to church regularly. Could have called it. The pop culture
00:40:32.860 would be shocked by that, but I could have called it. According to the Institute for Family Studies,
00:40:37.480 researchers analyzed findings from multiple data sets, including the 2026 IFS Religion and Family
00:40:43.460 Survey of 3,125 married adults ages 18 to 54, the long-running nationally representative general
00:40:49.660 social survey, and a separate survey of 1,219 alumni of FOCUS, which is a campus Catholic
00:40:54.640 ministry. Turns out that couples that attend church once a week, at least, have basically
00:41:04.580 the greatest amount of sex and sexual satisfaction. 0.94
00:41:07.980 And then specifically, when you drill down among Christians, 0.99
00:41:11.880 guess which group is having the best time?
00:41:15.080 Yes, you can see by the grin on my face,
00:41:17.720 it is the Catholics, regularly attending Catholics, 1.00
00:41:21.380 reporting some of the highest levels of sexual frequency.
00:41:24.440 This association remained,
00:41:25.760 even after accounting for demographic differences,
00:41:28.620 also some of the greatest sexual satisfaction.
00:41:31.880 Okay, first takeaway here.
00:41:35.040 Cross the Tiber, folks.
00:41:36.500 Come on, swim home to Rome.
00:41:38.120 The water is warm.
00:41:39.140 It's great over here.
00:41:40.300 If you're not totally persuaded yet
00:41:42.560 by the theological arguments or by the liturgy,
00:41:45.520 at the very least, you're gonna have a great time, okay?
00:41:48.700 What did Chesterton write?
00:41:50.400 Wherever the Catholic sun doth shine,
00:41:52.420 there is good steak and good red wine
00:41:54.220 or something like that.
00:41:56.120 Second takeaway, though.
00:41:57.220 This is important, even if you're not Catholic,
00:41:59.240 even if you're not Christian,
00:41:59.980 even if you just care about American politics
00:42:02.380 or international politics.
00:42:04.580 rules work. That's the takeaway here. And I haven't heard anyone talking about it.
00:42:11.160 Why do Catholics have the most sex and the most sexual satisfaction? Why is that? Why do you 0.99
00:42:16.460 think that is? Is it just because we're a bunch of Mediterranean Don Giovannis? Maybe that's part
00:42:21.920 of it. We're a bunch of giga chads. I don't know. Maybe that's part of it. But you know why?
00:42:26.380 because of the rules because we can't do anything else i don't want to be again i don't want to be
00:42:35.100 too lurid but if you are practicing catholic and you hold to catholic sexual teaching
00:42:41.220 uh you don't get to do other stuff there's basically one thing you can do maybe a few
00:42:48.920 different angles on it i guess but there's basically like one thing you can do sexual 0.92
00:42:53.660 Congress must always be ordered toward the procreation of children. In other words,
00:42:58.300 it must be open to life. In other words, you can't get too freaky about the things that you're doing,
00:43:02.440 which means that you can't get too selfish about your desires. You can't, shall we say,
00:43:08.200 take care of business yourself. So it has to involve another person, unlike Woody Allen,
00:43:15.020 who referred to that lonely act as sex with someone he likes. You can't, there are very
00:43:22.040 strict rules. And by the way, you have to do it a lot. You can't, according at least to the
00:43:27.920 traditional rubrics, if you avoid that thing that married couples do on certain days because you, 0.93
00:43:34.980 you know, want to avoid having kids, that itself can be a sin. Also, you can't use any form of 0.96
00:43:41.900 contraception. Also, you can't use any of the new fertility treatments. Like the, you can use some
00:43:48.760 fertility treatments, but you can't use the ones that separate the procreation from the sexual 1.00
00:43:53.860 act. So you can't do IVF or whatever. So it basically means you have to get busy with your 0.97
00:43:59.220 spouse. You have to do it. There is actually a right. The spouse has a right to sex within limits
00:44:08.820 with certain limitations on it. But basically the spouse has a right to sex. Very shocking to our 0.75
00:44:13.900 liberal view of sex but it is how you get this surprising or paradoxical outcome which is that 0.98
00:44:21.720 all the free love people the lgbt love is love do what you want polyamory polycule hookup culture 0.84
00:44:32.000 all those people are paradoxically getting down less frequently and they're enjoying it less when 0.95
00:44:38.500 they do it than the trad cats and Christians broadly who have to follow rules. So the takeaway 0.99
00:44:46.480 here is if the rules work when it comes to sex, if it preserves marriages, if the rules preserve
00:44:54.540 marriages, if the rules lead to people actually being fruitful and multiplying, replacing
00:44:59.680 themselves. We've had this major political problem in the West for 50 years now, basically since
00:45:03.940 religion was taking out of public life, this problem where we're not replacing ourselves, 0.96
00:45:08.880 so we have demographic collapse, and it's an existential threat to our countries, 0.98
00:45:12.560 not just the US, but the whole West and increasingly the whole world.
00:45:16.840 If the rules work when it comes to sex, that they incentivize the behaviors that you want to see,
00:45:24.680 and people are happier, that's a crucial part. Because we believe in liberal modernity that
00:45:32.200 rules make us unhappy. And the way to be happy is to not have any rules because then we maximize
00:45:36.480 our individual autonomy. But if we discover that the rules at work, first of all, contrary to the
00:45:42.460 libertarians who have this bizarre view that when you incentivize things, you get the opposite.
00:45:47.020 You know, the way to stop drug problems is to legalize drugs. That's like one of their arguments
00:45:50.940 and it's preposterous. So no, the rules actually do work. And two, the rules make everyone happier.
00:45:59.620 it's a classical insight that liberalism denies if that's true when it comes to sex
00:46:05.820 why wouldn't it be true when it comes to other things why wouldn't it be true when it comes to
00:46:12.140 any matter of government or employment or standards and norms in the public square
00:46:17.900 now we say any any rule you add is uh tyrannical authoritarian theocratic contrary to liberalism 0.75
00:46:27.080 But the irony of all of this, by the way, I'm not a liberal, I'm not a classical liberal, I'm not a modern liberal, I say it frequently, but the classical liberals that all the modern squishy types say that they model themselves after, you know, John Locke, John Milton, whatever, all of those people, by today's standards, are theocratic white supremacists and misogynists.
00:46:47.540 by today's, the classical liberals like John Locke are much, much more authoritarian and
00:46:55.720 theocratic and right-wing and sexist than even the most radical right-winger who lives today.
00:47:02.200 Do you understand? That's one of the great ironies. I'm not a liberal because I think
00:47:06.040 liberalism gets human nature wrong and gets society wrong. But if I say, hey, maybe we should
00:47:13.140 have some rules around sex. Maybe here's an idea. Maybe we should limit contraception as we did in
00:47:19.520 the United States before the early 1970s. Hey, here's an idea. Maybe we should ban abortion.
00:47:24.340 Hey, here's an idea. How about we make divorce much harder to get than we do today? Hey,
00:47:30.740 here's an idea. How about we allow blue laws so you close the stores on Sundays? I don't know.
00:47:35.020 That's one. Hey, here's an idea. How about we have a Christmas tree in the public square? Hey,
00:47:37.700 here's an idea. How about we have the Bible in schools? Hey, here's an idea. Whatever.
00:47:40.280 you would call me an authoritarian and a theocrat i'm like a lib compared to the classical liberals 0.76
00:47:46.620 in any case it works and if it works for sex it works for all of society because sex is how we
00:47:52.980 get society because that's how we make more people okay i know i gotta run but i gotta get
00:47:58.780 to this one speaking of lascivious behavior trump he had another another banger as it were last
00:48:05.480 night. He was speaking in Port Huron, Michigan. Here is President Trump extending his new favorite
00:48:12.700 comedy routine, which is speaking about people's derrieres. He's been setting it up talking about
00:48:17.620 a male Senate candidate's backside. And now he pays off the setup talking about Nicki Minaj.
00:48:26.040 By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before, Nicki Minaj. 1.00
00:48:35.480 That's hard to miss. 1.00
00:48:39.340 That's stand up.
00:48:41.520 That's hard to miss.
00:48:53.020 Okay.
00:48:53.500 I'm going to get back to my story.
00:48:54.960 I hope Nikki wasn't insulted,
00:48:56.800 but we love Nikki.
00:48:57.840 She's been with us for a long time.
00:49:00.700 Okay.
00:49:01.180 All right.
00:49:01.580 You know,
00:49:02.240 I mean,
00:49:02.720 not Churchillian in rhetoric,
00:49:05.480 Actually, it is Churchillian in Churchill's private rhetoric, you know, but maybe not
00:49:09.540 in his public rhetoric, not a paraclean oration to talk about Nicki Minaj's backside.
00:49:16.620 But this does pay off the joke.
00:49:19.760 You realize the setup of the joke has been going on for two weeks now, three weeks, where
00:49:26.680 he says, and I got this Senate candidate who's struggling here, and he's a Republican, and
00:49:31.280 he's a man, and you know, rather than talk about, he's got a really good health care
00:49:34.300 policy.
00:49:34.740 he's got a really good immigration policy he comes and he says he's got a greatest you know
00:49:39.440 like al pacino and people thought this was shocking and weird and funny the left started
00:49:44.020 calling him gay but no one actually thinks that president trump is gay so it was just kind of
00:49:47.660 funny and he was trolling them and he kept talking it and he kept escalating it and and making it 0.51
00:49:52.480 more graphic and he saw i i tapped his shoulder and i think i broke my fingers oh it was so it's
00:49:57.760 like made of steel you know and anyway he kept doing that and then you get the payoff of the
00:50:02.640 joke, which is, but you know who I really like looking at? Nicki Minaj. She's a lady. And I
00:50:07.740 love Nicki Minaj gets up there. She kind of laughs. She wags her finger at him like, hey,
00:50:11.200 knock it off. He says, look, I don't want to insult you. I'm just saying. So again, I'm not
00:50:15.460 encouraging any candidate to emulate this. No one could pull it off. I don't think this is
00:50:21.220 Lincolnian kind of political rhetoric, but that is the payoff. Just what he's doing here,
00:50:26.720 because he's such a master showman. This is the knock, knock, who's their banana? Banana who?
00:50:31.060 knock knock who's there banana banana who knock knock who's there orange orange who orange you
00:50:37.080 glad that I didn't say banana and the the banana is the male senate candidate and the orange is
00:50:43.740 is Nicki Minaj it's the it's the payoff it's the one two and you hit it on the third really
00:50:49.220 we're gonna miss him so much someday unless he runs for a third term which he was talking about
00:50:54.840 last night and I have strong opinions about that I think term limits are a bad idea I call me an
00:50:59.480 authoritarian. Call me a tyrant. But you know who else agreed with that? It was Ronald Reagan. So,
00:51:04.120 okay, we'll get to a lot more to get to tomorrow. I know I want to get to it now, but there's this
00:51:08.620 great new fraud whistleblower incentive program. Speaking of incentives, Marco Rubio's teasing
00:51:13.880 that we're going to take over Cuba and asking people to join the CIA in Cuba so that he can
00:51:19.220 overthrow the regime. So much. Senator Cruz answered a really big question on Israel.
00:51:25.320 Oh, I have so much I want to talk about, but they won't give me enough time.
00:51:28.200 it's not enough time so we'll get to it tomorrow the rest of the show continues now you don't want
